Lego GBC Cardan Lift V2 is my variation of Torbjorn Soderstedt’s Cardan Lift V2.
It uses Girolamo Cardano’s Cardan Mechanism from the 16th century to convert rotation to linear motion.
Night Lighting
This module is setup for night running and uses one of my custom Lego UV/Led lights, with the UV shining on the balls and the lego light passing through a trans-blue brick to color the module gearing.

In order to fit, it breaks into several key pieces.
- Input bin.
- Output chute.
- Cardan Lift.
- It is also packed with Lego GBC Super Tower Battle as I run these modules together.
